A suspected China-linked hacking group stole data from US and Canadian academic, medical and military research institutions for more than a year before being detected, Google Threat Intelligence Group said in a new report.
The hacking team, tracked as UNC6508, had hacking systems in place from September 2023 to November 2026, Google said.
The hackers sought materials related to defence intelligence, military strategy in the Indo-Pacific region, AI, unmanned vehicles, cyber warfare programmes and medical research, researchers said.
